Every drift detected.
Every agent action scored.
Every verdict signed.
Runtime governance today.
TELOS Labs builds runtime governance for AI agents. We score every tool call against your stated purpose in real time — sub-20ms, cryptographically signed, locally executed. Your agents stay within the boundaries you define. Not because you told them to. Because the math enforces it.

Products
Three products. One governance engine. From open-source agent safety to enterprise fleet governance.
TELOSCLAW
Runtime governance for OpenClaw agents. The governed agent framework for the OpenClaw community.
- → Free adapter + open-source scanner
- → Full engine from $49/mo
- → pip install telos-openclaw
Steward
AI coding assistant that indexes your codebase 24/7. Your codebase, continuously understood. Governed by design.
- → Continuous codebase indexing
- → Every action governed by TELOS
- → Purpose-scored code suggestions
TELOS Governance
The engine behind TELOSCLAW. Runtime governance for any AI agent — not just OpenClaw.
- → Any agent framework, any model
- → NDA + source access + dedicated onboarding
- → Multi-agent fleet governance
TELOSCLAW
Binary safety scanner for AI agent tool calls. 9,458+ attack patterns from OWASP, MITRE ATLAS, ClawHavoc, and community research. Catches prompt injection, data exfiltration, and tool misuse before your agent acts.
telos-gov
The complete governance engine. Purpose-bound identity. Cryptographic audit trail. Real-time enforcement. Runs entirely local — nothing leaves your machine.
- → 4-layer scoring cascade (keyword → ML → embedding → contrastive)
- → Ed25519 signed governance receipts
- → Enforce mode — block unsafe actions in real time
- → Purpose Attractor authoring + commissioning
- → Drift monitoring + CUSUM alerting
- → Counterfactual replay validation (CCRS)
- → 90-day governance trail retention

$ telos init --activate <your-token>
Enterprise
Source access. Custom boundary corpora. Dedicated support. NDA. Multi-agent fleet governance.
Contact us →How TELOS works
01
Define purpose
Write your agent's Purpose Attractor — what it should do, what's off-limits, what boundaries matter. This becomes the mathematical center of governance.
02
Sign and commission
Sign the PA with your Ed25519 key. The agent goes from INERT to governed. Every action is now scored against your stated purpose. The signing is your governance contract.
03
Govern in real time
Every tool call passes through the 4-layer scoring cascade in <20ms. EXECUTE, CLARIFY, or ESCALATE. Signed receipts. Hash-chained audit trail. Your compliance evidence generates itself.
Honest numbers
We publish where we score well and where we don't. Transparency about limitations is how you know the good numbers are real.
Where TELOS performs well
- 0% ASR on 2,550 safety benchmark scenarios (95% CI ≤ 0.12%)
- 91.8% boundary detection rate at 5.2% FPR
- AUC 0.9804 ± 0.018 (5-fold CV, 171 training examples)
- p95 latency 20ms (17 boundaries, single session)
Where work continues
- Category C (contextually ambiguous actions): 69.7% accuracy
- Domain-specific accuracy (Nearmap corpus): 82.6%
- Generic false positive rate: 24.8%
- Single-agent validation — cross-platform testing ongoing
